Dallas and Columbus Crew meet often enough to be considered a familiar pairing, and in the last six meetings hardly anyone has won by a clear margin. There were as many as three draws and the other three ended with a one-goal difference. This time both come in at very similar moments: both teams have won three, drawn one and lost one from their last five, and both just closed things out with a win. Dallas took their latest win without conceding, and are still unbeaten in three straight, but their attack is still up and down, narrow wins alternating with games where they scored several. Columbus Crew, for their part, are also unbeaten in four straight, their attack is back up and running after scoring four in their latest game, but their defence still has spells where they let opponents take the lead. This game should be open and end-to-end from the start, because both sides have attacking moments that genuinely create chances based on their recent form. Dallas have less of the ball but shoot on target consistently, while Columbus Crew have more possession and slightly more shots on target. The first thing to watch after kickoff is whether Dallas can press high and score early, because if they have to chase the game it will open up immediately.
